New York City Food Tours

I believe food is the greatest medium to communicate and connect. I create accessible, authentic experiences of cultures, designed to open up minds and palates. – Jeff Orlick

How many times have you stepped off the plane at JFK or LaGuardia and dreamed about taking a bite out of the Big Apple? I don’t mean just walking into a restaurant in Times Square because you just happen to be in line at the TKTS booth, I mean REALLY dig your teeth into the neighborhoods.

Where do you start? If it were me, I’d be calling up Jeff Orlick.  A resident of the city, Jeff is more than just a tour guide, he’s an insider to this community, and he’ll show you his favorites, as well as his secrets. Through  passageways to the cultures that live here, he’ll cherry pick the most eye-opening, heart-warming experiences. You won’t be lectured, you’ll be a participant in the most diverse area on the planet.

  • Do you want to avoid touristy Manhattan and experience the Real New York? 
  • Do want to participate in a neighborhood and become an insider to the current cultures of the city?
  • Do you love food and want to explore what the world has to offer?

Tastes of the World: Taste around 9 countries such as Peru, Tibet, Nepal, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia, Pakistan, Korea, India, the Philippines, and of course, New York Pizza. While we’re digesting our food, we’ll stop in shops and markets and talk to locals to get a feel for their way of life. It’s a whirlwind of many different cultural enclaves, all coexisting within one square mile.

Roosevelt Avenue Midnight Street Food Crawl: Experience the greatest street food scene in NYC. When the sun goes down, street food from Mexican, Ecuadoran, Colombian, Salvadoran, and Dominican street vendors come out. It’s an amazing, authentic experience – exploring the haziness of street food laws and the people who are trying to make it in a new country. Whoever said NYC has no good Mexican food has clearly never been to this area around midnight.

Queens Fiesta Crawl: This explores Roosevelt Avenue during the day, hitting heavily the Mexican and Ecuadorian scenes of Queens. This area is limitless with what we can discover.

Jeff Orlick AKA Jeffrey Tastes has spent the last 5 years of his life documenting and showing off the cultures of Queens, NY. With mobile apps such as Real Pizza of New York and the Little India Insider, he offers low cost methods of picking his brain about his two areas of expertise: Pizza and Roosevelt Avenue, Queens. His tours, the Tastes of the World and the Roosevelt Avenue Midnight Street Food Crawl, have been featured in major newspapers and television shows around the country. And events such as Woks and Lox, Flushing Mall Grazing Experience, and the 5-Boro Pizza Tour have all pushed the boundaries of thought and gustation.

  1. I love experiencing the real and authentic sides of cities I visit. Jeff’s food tours sound amazing and I will definitely look those up the next time I am in town!

  2. I love exploring for the best food joints when I visit any new city! I always try to stay far away from the “beaten path” I am super excited to really dig in to the street food when I visit New York in August!!

  4. I have been to NY MANY times over the years, since my mother’s entire family is from the Brooklyn area and I still have some members that live there. I yearn for the food all too often and a food tour would be an amazing experience for my husband and I on our next visit. We’re thinking next spring!

  7. Mmmmm… making me hungry! I will have to do this too in August!! 🙂

  8. New York does the most amazing smoked meat sandwiches. It would take me two days to finish that one above – thanks for sharing.

  9. They have dinner shows at the neighboring disney hotels. Some years back, we went to a Hawaii Laua at the Tiki Resort. We were there during March, so it was during off season. You don’t have to be at quest at the resort. They have several shows and they put you on a waiting list got right in. Got right in good food and great show. Worth the price. All the food and drink you can eat at set price.

  14. I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your site. It appears as if some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Appreciate it

  15. Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog and brilliant style and design.

  24. You also have the money within your turn in less than half an hour and may get as
    much as $2,000 with a personal bank loan!

  25. With everything that appears to be building throughout this specific subject material, your perspectives are very stimulating. Having said that, I beg your pardon, but I can not give credence to your whole strategy, all be it refreshing none the less. It looks to me that your remarks are not completely justified and in reality you are generally yourself not entirely convinced of the assertion. In any event I did take pleasure in looking at it.
